Tilapia is one of the most wonderful seafood I have tasted. I am someone who loves Fish, but I do not like seafood options that are too fishy in taste. So, for people like me, Tilapia is a great option.
This fish is flaky, tastes mild and goes along great as a side dish, or a light lunch/dinner. This recipe is a quick marination and once its grilled, its just a perfect go to dish.
We loved the whole grilled Tilapia. I did realize that it tastes much better if you buy fresh live fish. Frozen options would be nice too, but there can be nothing better than getting your fish fresh.
Though I always have Mr. Parveez grill the fish for me, but I have given details of grilling the fish in the oven too.
